Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you;

And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves a pattern to you to follow us.

And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
